The Rio Olympics are now in full swing, and it’s impossible not to get caught up in the competitive madness. Watching the best athletes in the world sport against each other with such charisma and grace has us down with a serious case of envy. Luckily, we’ve got some Olympic-inspired tips to give our power-dressing an Olympian level of confidence!
1. Jump on the Gain Train
The first step of any athlete’s journey always begins with some hardcore training. Whether yours includes a trip to the gym, or even just a scenic walk, make sure to make your mark with some bold workout clothes.

2. Slay Your Off-Duty Game
These competitors may be the best in the world, but that doesn’t mean they live in their workout clothes! Pair Rio’s official colors of green, yellow, and blue for an exciting combination that will make you stand out anywhere.

3. Off to the Races
When it comes time to actually compete, every fiber of these performers’ outfits are engineered to help them succeed. Emulate this tactic in the workplace with clothes designed to make you feel your best– from a comfortable heel for presentations to the tie-up blouse that screams CEO. For an added twist, make sure to dress in red, white, and blue, so everyone knows exactly which team you’re rooting for.

4. Go for the Gold
Now that you’ve power-dressed your way to success, get ready to lay back and be honored for your achievements! With an all-gold outfit (featuring a no-so-subtle pair of gold star earrings), make it clear to the world that you know you’re a winner.

5. The Awards Ceremonies
Athletes that truly shine at the games are often honored at various other galas and ceremonies after the games have completed. Take a page from athletes like Bronte Campbell and Missy Franklin, and don’t be afraid to pull out all the stops for any special events coming up. With a gold medal necklace and a roomy clutch big enough to store the essentials, you’ll be ready to tackle any formal affair like a boss.
